Chuncheon Pungmul Market is a traditional market open five days a week, stretching for about 500 meters below the elevated railway line of Gyeongchun.

The market is conveniently located, just a short distance from Namchuncheon Station, Chuncheon Inter-provincial Bus Station and a five-minute walking bus station, making it easy for both locals and tourists traveling by train or bus to access.

Unlike most traditional markets, Chuncheon Pungmul Market is surrounded by high-rise buildings, creating a special and outstanding atmosphere. During market days, this place is flooded with many stalls selling fresh agricultural products, seafood, snacks and many different types of goods.
